Grassroots
« on: October 14, 2009, 02:52:49 AM »
I noticed on PBA's web page on approved equipment, Motiv was listed as Grassroots. What exactly does this entail?

Mostly Senior and regular regionals.

I believe you can also use them in qualifying in regular PBA events (I thought I heard that), but you can't use them on TV. If that scenario is true, why bother using them up to a point, then you have to change brands.

Unlimited use of cleared bowling balls, apparel and accessories, excluding shoes in PBA Tour Qualifying Rounds*, PBA Regional and Senior Tour competition (excluding any televised competition).

* Grassroots items not permitted during U.S. Open and World Championship competition or on the Lumber Liquidator''''s PBA Tour

That''s the specifics on Grassroots.  It seems like there''s a distinction between "Lumber Liquidator’s PBA Tour" and "PBA Tour Qualifying Rounds."  What is the latter?

Just because a few people either drilled them wrong or used them on the wrong condition is no reason to condemn and entire line of balls.
